Returning Patients

In order to make the most of your return office visit, which is 20 minutes in length, we have included a Returning Patient Form for you to download and complete prior to your visit. Please hand carry it with you. If you are unable to download this form prior to your visit, we ask that you arrive 20-30 minutes earlier for your appointment so that you may complete it at our office. Once a year, you will need to complete a longer, more extensive questionnaire. For all other visits, the questionnaire will be much shorter. Click here for more information about completing necessary forms through MyUPMC.

In order for your physician to track your symptoms over time, several questionnaires for you to complete are contained in the packet of forms. We ask that you answer the questions thoughtfully and write down the issues you would like to address during your appointment. Patients previously reported in surveys they do not always have all their questions answered at their visits. Completing our questionnaire prior to the visit will help you and your physician or physician assistant stay focused on your most important concerns and will allow us to monitor many of your symptoms over time.

You should receive a confirmation call at least 2 days before your appointment. Should you need to reschedule your appointment please call (412) 692-4920 and press number 2 for scheduling.

You are always welcome to bring a family member or friend to any of your appointments. Having another set of eyes and ears is often helpful, especially when so much new information may be shared at a visit.
